For the sake of testing I’m running my app on my VPS server this way:

  RAILS_ENV=staging rails s -p 3000 -b 0.0.0.0

I have exception:

The port 11211 is of Memcached, right? Where in my app should I configure it?

Or should I use Redis?

In the documentation none of them are mentioned

You can choose redis or memcached cache store, see

https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe/blob/master/config/environments/staging.rb#L60

For redis you should add ENV vars like:

redis_host=localhost
redis_port=6379
redis_db=0

As default sharetribe config is for Memcachier servers like for apps on Heroku, for using local memcached server you can simplify config line:

config.cache_store = :dalli_store, 'localhost:11211'

but nothing in the documentation?

I fixed it by running sudo apt-get install memcached
